Found a new Austin beer bar in the area. One batender (James) seems very amiable to homebrewers. They even save their flip top bottles. Definitely recommend a selection that has this as HALF their beer menu.

A guy I work with has a CO2 regulator that he wants to part with. Never been used (actually still has the tank washer still zip tied to it). It is old but I disassembled it and the rubber still looks to be in good shape. It was store indoors, so not exposed to the Texas heat. Asking $35, buyer...

Last weekend I finished up my new fermentation chamber but I've been lazy, so I didn't detail anything out during the build process. I did manage to get some pics though, so I thought the details were worth posting. This is actually a pretty simple project, all things considered. Much easier...

So as I sit here watching America's Test Kitchen, I realized something. As a banana ripens, the starch is converted to sugar. I assume this is through enzymatic activity but I don't really know. So my question is can you take a bunch of bananas, mash (squish) them to get easier access to the...

So I went to my LHBS for a lager recipe and got a recipe that calls for 97.7% pale ale malt (I'm assuming 2-row) and 2.3% Cara Pils. The recipe only uses one type of hop (for bittering and aroma), so I'm wondering if I essentially made a SMaSH. I don't want to post the whole recipe because I...

So is homemade soda (like rootbeer, ginger ale, etc.) bad for expecting mothers? I have a co-worker who has informed me that pregnant women should not have anything that is not pasteurized. I have a party coming up and I invited a few couples who are expecting their first child, so I wanted...

DISCLAIMER: THIS IS NOT MY SALE AND I DON'T KNOW THE SELLER. I ONLY EMAILED THE SELLER AND FOUND OUT THE SIZE. Here's a link to the posting. $150 if you by 2, or $100 if you buy one. It claims to be for "fountain drinks."

Let me first say, this project is totally ridiculous but I don't think it's been done and the wife and I wanted a project to have fun with...aside from the obvious. First a little back story: About a month ago, a co-worker of my wife decided to get rid of a 55" rear projection TV (dimensions...

I started browsing HBT around Christmas of '10 and was soon hooked. By mid-Feb I decided to join and make a few posts, but I just realized I've never introduced myself. I currently mini-mash (because my HB messiah taught me this method) and am working on building an Aquarium temp controller...

I have a friend trying to sell a freezer on top fridge for $80 (negotiable). The fridge is in working condition, with no funky smells that I noticed when I looked at it. I'd pick it up but the wife says I can't have it... Best guess is around 11-12 cu ft. By removing the door shelving, it...

I'm new to HBT, so if this isn't the correct forum for this question, please let me know. I was at my LHBS discussing my next step into brewing from a mini-mash to an AG, without spending a lot of money. He told me to skip the AG methods and just pasteurize the extract (with about 2-3 gal of...

I'm considering converting my current TV stand into a fermentation chamber when SWMBO allows me to buy a new TV stand. I've got the design pretty much laid out (pic below) but have a couple of options for the cooling. Initially I was going to go with a 5000 BTU window AC with a Love...
